Ohlsson will perform solo and chamber works by Johannes Brahms. He will later be joined by the Takács Quartet for a rousing performance of Amy Beach’s Piano Quintet, a piece for which he and the Takács recorded and won a 2001 Gramophone Award. We are also thrilled to present a new work by 2023 composer-in-residence Lembit Beecher, inspired in part by the transformation of the Elwha River and written for Artistic Directors James Garlick and Richard O’Neill.

3PM: Performance
Clara Schumann Three Romances for Violin and Piano (1853)
Robert Schumann Märchenbilder (Fairy Tales), Op 113 (1851)
Johannes Brahms Piano Quartet in A major, Op 26 (1861)
In October 1853, a 20-year-old young composer named Johannes Brahms knocked on the door of Robert and Clara Schumann with a letter of introduction. That same year, Clara Schumann wrote her Three Romances for Violin and Piano, and Robert Schumann soon proclaimed Brahms the heir to Beethoven’s musical lineage and so began one of the most intimate friendships in music history. Jeremy Denk leads us on a rare and remarkable journey to explore these three intertwined musical voices.
